The Yancey County U14 Recreation Youth Soccer team the “Flood” was right at home playing in the heavy rains that fell on the Asheville soccer field last Saturday. The team played extremely well under the flooding conditions coming away with a 5-1 victory over the Asheville team. The U12 teams “The Fury” and “Gang Green“ also played well during the downpours in Asheville. On Sunday, the Yancey County U10 Academy Youth Soccer team the “Yodas” played a double header in Asheville with a more challenging team from Swain County in the second game. The “Yodas” are playing some of the best soccer in the Academy League in all of WNC.
The U10 “Ninjas” recently joined the MHHS Cougars Men’s Soccer Team for a practice and scrimmage. The young men shared their soccer skills and techniques and provided a great opportunity for the youth players to improve their knowledge of the game. The youth soccer players have also been performing as ball boys during the MHHS Men’s Soccer home games. This has been a very positive and inspirational interaction with the youth players. The Youth Soccer League appreciates what the young men and coaches from the MHHS Cougars Men’s Soccer Team are doing for our young soccer players.
